Graphene as an insulator. And nano-size hovercraft.

The system can use the same effect to transport miniature robots on water.

In the center, electron microscopy shows a top view of the material indenene as a triangular lattice. Below it is a side view of the silicon carbide substrate. It can be seen that both the indenene and the graphene consist of a single atomic layer.

New electric systems require an extremely good insulator. Nanotechnology means that old-fashioned insulators are useless. A graphene membrane can protect components against water. The electric flow in the graphene makes it a good insulator that denies the inner side of the topological insulator getting outside effects. That kind of thing makes graphene one of the most interesting materials. The same thing that can make graphene repel water can be used in new nanotechnical solutions.

One of them is the nano-size robot that can hover above water. The system can make an electric load on graphene, and the system can hover above the layer using some nano-acoustic systems. That thing can make the small graphene hovercraft rise above the water layer. 


In a graphene structure, the fullerene balls are like small wheels that transport the miniature machine forward. There is the possibility that nano-diamonds send acoustic waves that make this system hover and move at least in liquids. In nanotechnology, small sizes of machines make them more effective and behave in other ways than their "big versions". 

In some models, graphene can trap water molecules. When the system turns the minus or plus poles in a certain way. It can be used to aim ion beams into the right position. The system can put behind the object, and then the ion cannon shoots ions. In that case, the opposite electric pole pulls ions into it. And that increases the ion system's accuracy. 

Graphene can also be used to trap water in it. The ability to change the direction of the water molecule makes it possible to create ultimate stealth materials. If the system can turn the molecule's positive or negative side outside, that thing makes this thing possible to create a layer that can pull electricity or radiowaves in it.

MIT's tractor beam can make the new types of SASER systems possible

   "This chip-based "tractor-beam," which uses an intensely focused beam of light to capture and manipulate biological particles without damaging the cells, could help biologists study the mechanisms of diseases."(Interesting Engineering, MIT’s Star Wars-inspired ‘tractor beam’ uses light to capture, manipulate cells) MIT's tractor beam can make the new types of SASER systems possible. The tractor beam just hovers the nanoparticle in air or medium, and then the laser or some other electromagnetic system transports oscillation into those particles. The ability to make cells and other particles hover in the system makes it possible to create particles whose energy level or resonance frequencies are accurately calculated things.  That thing makes it possible to create things that transmit wave movement accurately and cleanly. This is one version of the use of a tractor beam. Modern tractor beams are like acoustic tweezers where sound waves lock the object in its cr

The new observations tell that the thunderstorms form gamma-rays. That could make gamma-ray lasers possible.

  "An illustration of NASA’s research plane ER-2 flying over thunderstorms. Credit: University of Bergen / Mount Visual (CC BY 4.0), edited" (ScitechDaily, Surprising Discovery: NASA’s Retrofitted U2 Spy Plane Reveals Tropical Lightning Storms Are Radioactive) The new observations tell that the thunderstorms form gamma-rays. That could make gamma-ray lasers possible. The process has been observed by the NASA (Lockheed) ER-2 research plane, which is a modified U-2 spy plane. The gamma-ray formation in thunderstorms. Where lightning and electric fields release electrons that impact the air molecules and water droplets is an interesting thing. That thing opens the route to solving many mysteries.  "The general physics behind how thunderstorms create high-energy flashes of gamma radiation is not a mystery. As thunderstorms develop, swirling drafts drive water droplets, hail, and ice into a mixture that creates an electric charge much like rubbing a balloon on your shirt. Pos

Chinese innovations and space lasers are interesting combinations.

Above: "Tiangong is China's operational space station located in low Earth orbit. (Image credit: Alejomiranda via Getty Images)" (Scpace.com, China's space station, Tiangong: A complete guide) Chinese are close to making nuclear-powered spacecraft.  Almost every day, we can read about Chinese technical advances. So are, the Chinese more innovative than Western people? Or is there some kind of difference in culture and morale between Western and Chinese societies? The Chinese superiority in hypersonic technology is one of the things that tells something about the Chinese way of making things.  In China, the mission means. And the only thing that means is mission. That means that things like budgets and safety orders are far different from Western standards. If some project serves the Chinese communist party and PLA (People's Liberation Army) that guarantees unlimited resources for those projects. Chinese authorities must not care about the public opinion.  If we th
